A video spreading across social media platforms showed what appeared to be a Chabad member leaning from a high-rise office window to help a window washer on a suspended scaffold put on tefillin. The clip drew widespread positive reactions, with viewers commenting on the lengths Chabad members go to in their outreach efforts.
However, the video is not authentic. Chabad.org confirmed that the clip was created using artificial intelligence, despite its convincing appearance. While Chabad chassidim are known for undertaking extraordinary measures to help others put on tefillin, this particular scene was entirely AI-generated rather than a real encounter.
